3 Particle Production 1 Billion o K 1 Trillion o K Start with light particles, no strong nuclear force 3
4 Particle Production 1 Billion o K 1 Trillion o K Previous Plot Now add hadrons = feel strong nuclear force 4
5 Particle Production 1 Billion o K 1 Trillion o K Previous Plots Keep adding more hadrons. 5
6 Hadrons and their Masses Theory: Quantum Chromo Dynamics The fundamental problem: how is baryonic mass generated Based on quark interactions ( MeV/c 2 )? 6
7 Analogies and differences between QED and QCD to study structure of an atom separate constituents electron nucleus neutral atom Confinement: fundamental & crucial (but not understood!) feature of strong force - colored objects (quarks) have energy in normal vacuum quark-antiquark pair created from vacuum quark quarks u,d, (s,c,t,b) white proton (baryon) (confined quarks) Strong color field white π 0 (meson) Force white grows proton with separation (confined!!! quarks) 7
8 High Energy and Heavy Ion Physics High energy physics: Study of the constituents of matter and the nature of interactions between them. Study single processes Accelerator: e + + e -, p+p, anti-p +p, Heavy ion physics: Study collective effects and medium properties of nuclear matter Accelerator: A+A, reference data are p+p, p+a, The main features of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) Confinement At large distances the effective coupling between quarks is large, resulting in confinement. Free quarks are not observed in nature. Asymptotic freedom At short distances the effective coupling between quarks decreases logarithmically. Under such conditions quarks and gluons appear to be quasi-free. (Hidden) chiral symmetry Connected with the quark masses When confined quarks have a large dynamical mass - constituent mass In the small coupling limit (some) quarks have small mass - current mass 8
9 Hadron Mass In vacuum: - asymptotically free quarks have current mass - confined quarks have constituent mass - baryonic mass is sum of valence quark constituent masses Masses can be computed as a function of the evolving coupling Strength or the level of asymptotic freedom, i.e. dynamic masses.
